Originally published in 1913, this early work is a fascinating and
detailed account of Sir Robert Falcon Scott's journey to the South
Pole. Offering a complete collection of Scott's diary entries of
his last expedition, this book is unparalleled in its insight and
detail, constituting a must-read for anyone interested in this
famous explorative journey and a worthy addition to any collection
of antiquarian literature. Along with the diary entries are also a
number of letters found in the tent where Scott died: We are very
near the end, but have not and will not lose our good cheer. We
have four days of storm in our tent and nowhere's food or fuel. We
did intend to finish ourselves when things prove like this, but we
have decided to die naturally in the track..." Sir James Matthew
Barrie was a Scottish dramatist and author, best remembered for
being the creator of Peter Pan. This scarce book is republished
with an introductory biography of the author."
